itron b42r regulator itron gas regulator itron regulators
Built with internal relief and high-capacity venting. Fully compliant with UL 144, NFPA 54, and CSA standards. Suitable for indoor installation without restrictions.
Delivers up to 1.1 million BTU/hr with minimal pressure drop. Perfect for high-demand applications like commercial kitchens, boiler rooms, and multi-family complexes.
Rebuildable design. The B42R repair kit (seat, diaphragm, spring) can be replaced in-line without removing the regulator, drastically reducing downtime.
As a partner of Ningjin Thriveon Valve Co., Ltd., we ensure 24-hour quotes, 2-week lead times on bulk orders, and 100% authentic Itron sourcing. No more waiting 12 weeks.
Challenge: Facility managers faced constant pilot outages on the 5th floor due to pressure drop across a 200 ft trunk line. Solution: Replacement of a standard 3/4" regulator with a properly sized Itron B42R (1" NPT, set at 2 PSI). Result: Zero complaints over two winter seasons, 15% reduction in gas consumption, and a $0.30/sf savings in maintenance costs.

1. What is the inlet pressure range for the Itron B42R?
The B42R accepts a maximum inlet pressure of 5 PSI (345 mbar). It is designed specifically for 2 PSI gas distribution systems commonly used in the US and Canada.
2. What is the difference between an Itron B41R and B42R?
The B42R is the high-capacity version of the B41R. While the B41R is suitable for single-family homes (up to 300,000 BTU/hr), the B42R handles up to 1,100,000 BTU/hr, making it the correct choice for commercial and industrial loads.
3. Can the B42R be used for both Natural Gas and Propane?
Yes. The B42R can be field-converted for LP gas by changing the spring. It is rated for both gases. Always ensure the vent is properly located for LP (which is heavier than air).
4. Where can I find a genuine Itron B42R repair kit?
Thriveon offers 100% genuine Itron B42R rebuild kits. Contact our sales team at info@thriveonvalve.com for pricing and bulk availability. Kits include diaphragm, main seat, and O-rings.
5. What is the lead time for bulk Itron B42R orders?
Standard lead time for bulk orders (100+ units) is 14-21 days. Express shipping is available on request. We ship via FedEx/UPS freight from our bonded warehouse.
6. Does Thriveon offer OEM/ODM gas regulator components?
Yes. While we stock Itron, our parent factory (Ningjin Thriveon Valve Co., Ltd.) specializes in precision-machined fluid and gas control components. We offer custom spring pressures, bracket designs, and private labeling for qualified partners. Send your RFQ to our engineering team.
